America Air Care

I along with others used the living social/​groupon deal. I set up an appointment and the gentlemen came on time. I had to leave for an appointment but left the house to my smart but recovering from knee surgery fiancé. The man did the work and then tried to swindle us out of money. He was not familiar with the living social deal parameters so he charged us for return vents (1 is supposed to be in the deal) at $ 15 each. He then charged her for cutting 2 access hole so the cleaning could be done (1 is supposed to be covered in the deal) However, I’ve had this service done by SEARS in the past and access panels are already existent. He did cut 1 (not 2 liar) hole but it was unnecessary. TO MAKE MATTERS worse… he insisted on taking the living social coupon and a personal check for the $ 224 of additional work. She refused a personal so he accepted a check made out to the company. When I returned home and heard about all of this we place an immediate stop check on that check. I contacted their number and left a voice mail. It was returned 36 hours later and the owner tried to negotiate a settlement with me. I explained over and over the situation and invited him to my house to see the work that was done. He was Worcester, I’m in Providence, he didn’t want to make the drive so we left it that I did not owe the company any money.
DO NOT USE THIS company for any service. They do not know who they sub-​contract. They take advantage of people and then swindle money away from you. I have contacted the BBC to report abuse to a consumer.

I am in the same boat as the one other reviewer, Robyn. I bought a duct cleaning/​dryer vent cleaning coupon from Living Social, using America Air Care. As with the other reviewer, I have no problem with the work they did; however, I spent $ 49 for the coupon, and was talked into another almost ten times the money worth of additional work. They said I had black mold in the air duct vents because they hadn’t been cleaned. They indicated that they had to make three circular openings in the vents so they could clean the vents, and needed to put in chemicals to kill the mold. Although no one wants mold through their vents, I was pretty horrified to have to pay almost 10 times the coupon price to get them to finish the job. THey showed me what looked like mold, so I’m hopeful that they didn’t take advantage of me that way. Everyone REALLY needs to re-​consider whether the Living Social and similar type coupons are simply just a way for service people to get in the door and then make all these statements about what else you must do. This set my budget way back.
